World Revolt Against Bushamerica
This My Ydd blog thread is one of several items emerging to warn of a revolt against Bushamerica by other major nations of the world, particularly the European Union countries. Seymour Hersh in the speech linked below is also very harsh on this subject. He says that when the dollar falls, the suppressed emotion in Europe against Bushamerica will surface in a pretty ugly way.

This thread is interesting for the links to other news and essays on the web, as well as personal observations by Europeans and the poster on his experiences in England this year. We added our two cents in noting that Americans who had been abroad in recent years seemed invariably to be Kerry voters when they came back.

Tired of Bushies intransigence on the climate crisis and other issues, the EU is going its own way, forging alliances with other nations. The idea that the U.S. is "the leader of the free world" may be myopia, which wouldn't be surprising. The key issue however is Iraq, and since other countries have a better idea of what is really going on there, they see the ruinous consequences whereas the U.S. only senses it, due to our media blindness.

But since it is the U.S. and its economy making this war, and because efforts to deal with the climate crisis will be less successful without major changes in the world's greatest pollutor, when the EU and Japan are in position to dictate terms, the U.S. awakening is apt to be quite rude.

And so with that thumb in the Busheye, it begins.
